Last updated 17/04/2026 4:50pm
We’re making some temporary changes to our Rangitoto ferry timetable to help manage fuel use and keep services running reliably.
We know how important ferry services are for getting around Auckland and for enjoying places like Rangitoto. Our focus is on keeping these services available while using fuel as efficiently as possible.
The following changes will apply:
- The 1:15pm departure from Auckland has been removed (daily)
- Weekdays will move to one return sailing: 9:30am from Auckland, returning at 3:30pm
- Weekends will continue with two return sailings
- Public holiday sailings may change depending on demand
We’ll continue to do our best to accommodate school groups. Just get in touch and we’ll work through options with you.
We’ll keep reviewing demand and adjust services where needed. Thanks for your understanding while we navigate this.
See you on the water.
Waiheke Walk-up
Waiheke Island boasts 92km2 of pristine beaches, stunning coastal headlands, wineries, olive groves and seaside villages and is just a 40-minute ferry from downtown Auckland. One of our most popular destinations, Waiheke Island has been rated as one of the top island escapes in the world.
Rangitoto Island
The volcanic Rangitoto Island is one of the most iconic landmarks in Auckland's city skyline. Sitting majestically off the coast, Rangitoto’s distinctive symmetrical cone rises 260m over the Hauraki Gulf. Climb to the summit for epic views.
